Re: 65Custom Build Thread

The primary reason for the instability of the one-piece glass is the mechanism. It operates in a single track, therefore it can fulcrum in the middle, where the glass is seated into the bottom channel. If the single piece glass was made to be longer at the bottom, allowing it to go deeper into the door shell at the bottom, the glass could be supported at the bottom edge and up each side a few inches, to eliminate the fulcrum effect, thus allowing the glass to be stable in the opening. After stripping over 100 doors to shells, it is easy to see, but if you haven't taken many apart, it may be difficult to understand and equally difficult for me to explain it.
